Whois & Analysis for bitbucket.org

Bitbucket is a web-based hosting service for source code and development projects that use either Mercurial (since launch) or Git (since October 2011) revision control systems that is owned by Atlassian.

Bitbucket offers both commercial plans and free accounts.

It offers free accounts with an unlimited number of private repositories (which can have up to five users in the case of free accounts).

Bitbucket integrates with other Atlassian software like JIRA Software, HipChat, Confluence and Bamboo.

Git is a version control system (VCS) for tracking changes in computer files and coordinating work on those files among multiple people.

It is primarily used for software development, but it can be used to keep track of changes in any files.

As a distributed revision control system it is aimed at speed, data integrity, and support for distributed, non-linear workflows.

Computer software, or simply software, is that part of a computer system that consists of data or computer instructions, in contrast to the physical hardware from which the system is built.

In computer science and software engineering, computer software is all information processed by computer systems, programs and data.

Computer software includes computer programs, libraries and related non-executable data, such as online documentation or digital media.

Computer hardware and software require each other and neither can be realistically used on its own.

In revision control systems, a repository is an on-disk data structure which stores metadata for a set of files and/or directory structure.

Depending on whether the version control system in use is distributed (for instance, Git or Mercurial) or centralized (Subversion or Perforce, for example), the whole set of information in the repository may be duplicated on every user's system or may be maintained on a single server.

Some of the metadata that a repository contains includes, among other things:

In computing, source code is any collection of computer instructions, possibly with comments, written using a human-readable programming language, usually as ordinary text.

The source code of a program is specially designed to facilitate the work of computer programmers, who specify the actions to be performed by a computer mostly by writing source code.

The source code is often transformed by an assembler or compiler into binary machine code understood by the computer.

The machine code might then be stored for execution at a later time.

Alternatively, source code may be interpreted and thus immediately executed.
